I know some will say he used up too much to get into contention in the first place. Maybe so but from my perspective, if he was good enough, he probably wasn't going to beat the winner but second or third should have been where he finished.

I disagree on this - I can see if it was just a stumble or something relatively minor. However, Corinthian not only hopped in the air and lost many lengths, but he also almost went to his knees. Javier obviously wasn't going to perservere once the race was out of hand -expecting Corinthian to put in a sustained run, enough to pass by other horses, after that really dreadful beginning, is asking a lot. I just hope he came out of the race ok.
